Description

I’ve always been fascinated by the fact they have a 5 year caterpillar stage, and on reaching maturity as a moth, their lifespan is approximately 24-48 hours and the caterpillarfeed on the Puriri, Maire and Manuka trees. The Puriri moth is our largest moth and is endemic to the Te Ika a Maui. I have nostalgic childhood memories from spending many summers up in Bell Block, Taranaki at nana’s homestead, Mt Taranaki was the first sight everyday as we headed out to play and explore, over time I became aware of the deforestation that was taking place and the changes naturally offset outside of the sanctuary of the family homestead.
